This is SO COOL!!! Their collection of fossils and coal etc is extensive and creatively presented, and then there's an amazing experience of the history of coal mining, you feel like you really went there and back in time to see first hand what it was like over the decades. SO FUN!!!

Easily one of my favorites as you can find various specimens of dino fossil. Although it is not huge, it is packed with skeletal exhibits. The coal mine museum was a little eerie but also informational about the life of coal workers in Japan.

Very cool! Just 10 min walk from Yumoto Onsen Station. Even if you don’t understand Japanese, there are plenty of huge fossils and underground coal tunnel exhibits are a bit spooky, but fun.

I was really surprised how good it is and how much they cover. From dinosaurs, outdoor sites, a dark lift down to the mining exhibits etc. Really worth visiting then an onsen bath afterwaeds.

Very good museum with authentic dinosaur fossils and coal mines imitations.

A great Dino museum spotlighting Yumoto's historical coal mines.

It's a good visit. The "underground" part was nicely done.

Eomtrance fee 600JPY so exciting!!
